Small-market inventory
Because the borough is compact, only a limited number of homes may be available at any one time. A property with an “Andover” mailing address is not automatically in the borough.

Housing character, schools, trails, historic context, zoning and practical due diligence for this compact Sussex County borough.
Living in Andover Borough
Andover Borough has a very small residential inventory compared with surrounding Andover Township. Housing includes older Main Street and historic-district properties, established single-family neighborhoods, homes near Prospect Avenue and Lake Lenape, and newer infill construction.
What to know before a move
Schools
Pre-K through grade 8 students attend Andover Regional schools; high-school students attend Newton High School through the sending/receiving relationship.
Main Street & historic character
Some properties sit within or near the Andover Borough Historic District. Buyers planning substantial exterior work should verify current zoning, building and preservation requirements.
Outdoor access
The Sussex Branch Trail passes directly through the borough, and municipal parks provide both active and passive recreation.
Road access
US Route 206 is the borough’s primary north-south corridor, connecting toward Newton to the north and I-80 / Byram to the south.
Utilities & due diligence
Confirm water, septic/sewer, flood, environmental, zoning and property-specific conditions through municipal records and professional inspections before purchase.
Planning & land use
The borough’s current master-plan materials identify residential neighborhoods alongside a concentrated Main Street commercial corridor and approximately three municipally owned parks. Buyers, sellers and contractors should use the Borough Planning/Zoning and Construction offices for current requirements rather than relying solely on listing data.
Real-estate boundary note: Andover Borough and Andover Township share mailing conventions, so verify the actual municipality for any property before relying on school, tax, zoning or service information.
